Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 104 was alright.

On rainy days, Li Ran always felt that the concept of time became much blurred.

He glanced at the sky outside the window.

He felt that if he didn't look at his phone, he wouldn't know whether it was day or night.

"The weather forecast says the rain won't stop until noon tomorrow."

"How long did it take?"

Lee Ji-eun was also somewhat surprised.

"Who knows what God was thinking?" He shook his head.

Lee Ji-eun sighed, resting her chin on her hand, staring blankly into space.

This awful weather is really torturous.

Li Ran turned off her phone screen and stretched.

The entire room fell into a tranquil atmosphere.

He never considered himself a highly energetic person.

Just sitting there daydreaming and doing nothing seems pretty good.

He looked out the window.

The raindrops pattered against it, like beans being scattered.

For some reason, Li Ran thought of "turning beans into soldiers".

If he had that ability, he could make a lot of money by sending every bean soldier to work on a construction site.

Thinking of this, Li Ran paused slightly and shook her head.

As expected, he's just a nobody. His first reaction to gaining this superpower was to go get a job?!

Lee Ji-eun also looked out the window for a while, then said, "It feels like if it rains, we won't be able to do anything."

"Even when it's not raining, I haven't seen you doing anything." Li Ran turned to look at her.

"ah!"

Hearing him suddenly undermine her, Lee Ji-eun wrinkled her nose.

"I was just so bored I wanted to find something to do!"

"Why don't you go take a nap?"

"Do you think I'm a pig? How can I fall back asleep right after waking up?"

She pursed her lips, then picked up a cushion from the side and twirled it in her hand.

"By the way, what did you usually do when it rained?"

Li Ran thought for a moment, "Just sit there and daydream like this."

"That's it?"

"That's all. If I were still working a regular job, I would probably have to handle all sorts of work. Now that I run my own guesthouse, why should I bother with all that?"

He continued, "Rainy days are perfect for wasting time."

"A waste of time?" Lee Ji-eun was slightly taken aback.

"Yes!" He nodded. "Don't you think so?"

"Rainy days are like God giving you an excuse to temporarily put things aside and relax."

She tilted her head slightly. "But the things that need to be done still need to be dealt with in the end. What's the point of wasting all this time? Anyway, it will all be made up for in the end through work."

Li Ran glanced at her. "Why are you so concerned about the meaning?"

"How do you define meaning? For example, wasting time seems meaningless, but if you can find pleasure in wasting time, then it's not a waste of time."

Lee Ji-eun pursed her lips, feeling that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Achoo! Achoo!"

After thinking for a long time, she ended up sneezing several times in a row.

"Your ginger tea isn't working either!" she complained, rubbing her nose.

"Is it because your body is too weak?"

Li Ran shook her head. "Look how well I'm doing?"

Lee Ji-eun glanced at him and pursed her lips.

She took a thin blanket from the sofa and wrapped it around herself.

In the end, she only showed half of her face.

"Are you afraid of the cold?"

Looking at Lee Ji-eun, who was swirling around like a caterpillar, Lee Ran blinked.

"It's not that I'm afraid of the cold, it's that I feel cold."

She tucked her collar in further to prevent drafts.

"Is there a difference?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course!"

Lee Ji-eun said earnestly, "Being afraid of the cold is a matter of constitution, while feeling cold is a matter of weather."

"I'm bundled up like this purely because of the weather, not because I'm weak."

"Tsk."

Li Ran shook her head.

In his opinion, there was no difference.

He got up, went to the kitchen, poured a glass of hot water, and handed it to her. "Here, don't worry about whether you're weak or not, just drink more hot water."

Li Ran never imagined that one day she would become someone who only knew how to say "drink more hot water".

Lee Ji-eun accepted the hot water with both hands.

Even through the cup, she felt much warmer.

Thanks.

"No need, I'm just afraid you'll give me your cold."

Hearing this, she wrinkled her nose. "With emotional intelligence like that, will you ever be able to find a girlfriend?"

"You don't need to worry about that." Li Ran sat down next to her, leaning against the sofa.

"We'll talk about the future later. Besides, who says everyone has to have a girlfriend?"

Lee Ji-eun blinked, a hint of excitement in her eyes. "So you want to find a boyfriend?"

"ah!"

"Damn it, what's on your mind?"

He was furious.

"I'm a straight man, okay?"

"Then why don't you want to find a girlfriend? Is it because—" Her gaze unconsciously shifted downwards, then she suddenly covered her mouth, looking surprised.

"Hey! Lee Ji-eun!"

Li Ran gritted her teeth and looked at her.

"Just kidding!"

She immediately greeted him with a smile.

Li Ran rolled her eyes. "Then let me ask you, why don't you find a boyfriend now?"

Lee Ji-eun looked down at the hot water in her hand.

The steam rising from the cup brushed against her nose and then drifted upwards.

"Me? —"

She dragged out the sound.

"Maybe I just haven't met the right person yet."

"That settles it." He shrugged. "You can't just decide on a boyfriend or girlfriend like that."

Lee Ji-eun covered her water glass and took a sip of hot water.

Li Ran picked up the remote control from the side and turned on the TV.

The TV screen lit up.

It just so happens to be a variety show.

The people on the screen were shouting exaggeratedly.

Li Ran always felt that the variety shows on the peninsula were too loud and boisterous.

It's also possible that he hasn't seen many different types of content.

He glanced at the screen and lost interest.

Lee Ji-eun glanced at it as well, then lowered her head to stare at the bubbles in the water glass.

The two fell silent, but the laughter from the television was exceptionally clear.

Looking at the loud and boisterous host on the screen, Li Ran couldn't help but comment, "Do these variety shows only air when they're shouting? It's so loud and disruptive to my ears."

"It's all for the sake of the variety show effect, otherwise who would shout like that on purpose?" Lee Ji-eun said, glancing at the screen.

"Oh, maybe I just don't have a knack for variety shows."

"By the way, have you been on any variety shows?" he asked.

"In the early years, there were a few variety shows where he was a regular cast member."

"But I don't go on variety shows much anymore. Unless I have a new project to promote," she said after thinking for a moment.

"Why?" Li Ran asked, somewhat curious.

"Because I wasn't particularly well-known in the early days, I needed to participate in variety shows to solidify my popularity and expand my brand recognition. Variety shows were quite helpful in this regard."

"It's not really necessary now."

"Tsk. So it seems you're quite confident in your current popularity?" He winked.

"It's alright," Lee Ji-eun waved her hand, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Li Ran raised an eyebrow at her, noticing her obvious smugness yet feigned humility.

"It's alright~"

He deliberately imitated Lee Ji-eun's tone and repeated it.

"Hey! Li Ran!"

Lee Ji-eun blushed slightly and glared at him.
